'Mass Effect 3' FAQ: Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

An FAQ for players still hesitant to dive into the epic sci-fi franchise

March 23, 2012|By Dave Gilmore

People are “mad” about this fine game for many reasons. Most are angry that the ending isn’t a satisfying conclusion to the story (do not Google anything about this!) Some don’t like the fact that there was downloadable content made available the day the game was released, and players weren’t sure whether it was essential to their experience. There were also issues importing characters to carry over from “Mass Effect 2,” which obviously doesn’t concern you. An extra small group of people were angry at how pervasive and matter-of-fact same-sex relationships are depicted in the game. Are you boiling with rage yet? Didn’t think so.

So, should I buy this game?

If you like sci-fi and/or  role-playing games even a little, you should absolutely get your hands on “Mass Effect 3.” This is one of those times in life where “seeing what all the fuss is about” pays off. And if you get to the ending and it really does bother you, BioWare will probably have given you a new one by the time you get there.
